Legendary 2A6 Leopard & M109 A6 Paladin with cluster munition in Offence with The 47th Brigade

[@purplekys1536]

respect for everybody repairing the vehicles you guys doing important job

[@iVETAnsolini]

I was in a heavy mechanized brigade when I was in the army. The paladin is a nice piece of equipment.

[@andersjjensen]

They're one of the most "bug fixed" artillery systems still in current use. They don't have all the latest fancy bells and whistles but they are work horses like no other. I've spent entirely too much time in them though....

[@jakobc.2558]

I am glad the 2A6 is working fine. We have been producing so many leopard 2s for so long that their unit price is now below our new Puma IFV. Obviously we should take this opportunity to ramp up production.

[@tylerclayton6081]

Puma IFV is just ridiculously expensive. Leopard is pretty expensive for an MBT as well. Both are great, just too damn expensive because production for the Puma ifv and newer Leopard variants is happening at very low numbers so price per unit remains high The only reason something like an F-35A is only $78 million is because it is being produced at a very high volume. If new equipment isn’t produced in high quantities it will be too expensive for anyone to afford

[@lmcsquaredgreendale3223]

@@tylerclayton6081 That seems to be the problem. In the US the problem, according to the Pentagon, is that we rely on 5 companies for all of our military equipment. That is insane and I am sure that will not happen in Ukraine! They've taken drones and other equipment from small startups and rather than send them through the military for testing they send them directly to the troops. Australia's cardboard drones weren't seen as anything special until a unit of drone flyers tested them and said yes, radar can't see them. Then they sent them to dissidents in Russia. They also designed a small drone with explosives that moves so fast that only the best drone operators can use them. They blinded Russia who had high tech surveillance equipment and these little drones blew up that very expensive equipment. That was a great video. That is how Ukraine rolls. They've done that with other drones and even equipment like a self propelled 50 caliber machine gun that can fire 360 degrees even in rough terrain that is guided like a drone. Another drone is up above seeing where it needs to concentrate fire. Really cool, scares the Russians silly because they are using sub machine guns against it and it keeps firing and it also saves UA lives. We will see great things come from Ukraine's defense industry once they start it back up.

[@embreis2257]

the last time a new leopard2 tank entered service in the German military was in 1992. the production line lay dormant for many years. it's being revived just now for the Leo2A8

Great report. I served on the M109A2 in the 80's. I have fired the ICM round. It has 60 grenades, that hit the ground and "bounce" up 4-6 feet and then explode. The ICM was much denser footprint. The DPICM has a center and outer ring, it is pretty good coverage, but some charges are directional, and leaves some areas "safer" than others. While in W. Germany, I saw a 6 gun battery, fire 3 rounds each of ICM on a hillside... The devastation was incredible. Anything in its footprint, was shredded.

The Leopard was designed to fight Russians. With M109 and Cluster Munitions it's just the same. These things finally do what they were built for after being useless for so many years.

[@EhEhEhEINSTEIN]

I think about this a lot whenever I see American hardware being destroyed in Ukraine. Since the likelihood of any piece of heavy kit getting destroyed in defense of our homeland is basically 0, surely there can be no more honorable death of a piece of kit than in the hands of a smaller eastern European country defending itself from Russian aggression?

[@SystemsProjectEngineer]

There is 10 times more Russian hardware destroyed than US hardware. Also the U.S. has sent far more hardware compared to other countries. Obvious you would see more U.S. hardware damaged.

[@armadspengler2717]

I get what you're trying to say. On the other hand Germany is in NATO for several decades and as a German its not an unusual sight to see US military and their gear train side by side in my country to counter a possible attack by the Soviet Union/Russia. So after all those decades this gear is put into action to do just that - without the original crews of course.

As an old retired artilleryman it pleases me to see the M109 still going strong. And it especially pleases me to see the Ukrainians "making it a driving bush". Artillery needs to stay stationary for longer periods than anyone is comfortable with, so doing everything you can to thwart aerial detection is crucial. That they're running as small external ammo caches as possible is also perfectly by the book. I saw drone footage of a Ukrainian strike drone that took out a gigantic Russian ammo cache while the spotter drone recorded it. The nearby Pion, a farm house, a barn and a machine building were turned into confetti so violently that the leaves blew off the trees maybe a hundred meters from the epicenter. Keep doing it stupid Russia, and keep running it by the book Defenders!
